SUMMARY:Listen | Alexandria Le\, Solo Piano
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER \n$25 Members | $35 Adults (Nonmembers) | $20 for Students\, Children \nJoin us for a special Salon Series concert featuring soloist Alexandria Le\, laureate of the Pro Musicis International Award and the Ackerman Chamber Music Competition. In 2012\, Le won a coveted fellowship position with Ensemble Connect (formerly Ensemble ACJW\, the Academy of Carnegie Hall and the Juilliard School and the Weill Institute of Music) and has performed regularly at Carnegie Hall\, the Juilliard School\, and other venues around New York City. \nAmong the many selections in her Salon Series program\, Le’s dynamic pairings of American and non-American musical works will include two works that combine classical and pop music genres. French composer Francis Poulenc’s florid\, lyrical Improvisation no. 15: Hommage à Édith Piaf—the quintessential French chanteuse—is coupled with a piano arrangement of George Gershwin’s distinctly American Rhapsody in Blue that combines elements of classical and jazz\, established with the iconic opening siren-like clarinet riff and continuing with sections that evoke the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple in the 1920s. Her program also includes Claude Debussy’s Clair de Lune\, a hallmark of French Impressionism\, paired with Summerland from the 1935 suite Three Visions by William Grant Still\, often referred to as the “Dean of Afro-American Composers.” The suite tells the story of the soul’s journey\, with Summerland a metaphor for entering into heaven. \nPROGRAM \nThree Visions: 1.
